Memories of Holiday World to form digital mosaic

To celebrate Holiday World’s 70th season, the amusement park in Santa Claus, Ind., will create a Memories Mosaic by crowdsourcing photos through social media.

Park president Matt Eckert said people can submit photos from Santa Claus Land and Holiday World for the mosaic by using the hashtag #HoWoPho. Posts will be accepted until March 11.

“For our Memories Mosaic, we need to crowdsource 7,000 photos from throughout our 70-year history,” Eckert said. “Our mosaic will be on display all season in our 70th Birthday Plaza. We hope families will enjoy sharing their photos – and their memories – with us.”

Further instructions for submitting photos to the project via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and Pinterest can be found on Holiday World website at HolidayWorld.com/Memories. The park plans to create a video using the crowdsourced photos, too.

For its 70th birthday, Holiday World will also have a plaza highlighting 70 years of the park's operation and have a replica of the park’s original ride, The Freedom Train, that was retired three years ago.

Holiday World begins its 70th season on April 23. Splashin’ Safari’s opening day is May 12.
